King and will always be forever and no one will ever be able to take that from him. They killed him, drugged him, accused him, beat him physically and mentally, but he was is and will always be the King of pop and it has made me very aware in my life to do a self check and to reach out and love others for I soon too will be gone as we all will in very short order, we need to leave our legacy that can help the world. His music will inspire people long after we are gone.
King of POP MJ RIP

Actually, he was originally known as "a 30 year old midget" at about the age of 8. He began performing at such a young age...no. He was one of the Jackson 5, long before he became the "king of pop". He was only a member of the family group, then a young singer. He wasn't known as "the King of Pop" until Thriller made itself so big, or made him so big, or whatever.
